nice!

Avatar of immortalgamer

I really enjoyed that.  Felt you played well the entire game and I learned a new opening trap to watch out for and to use!

good game.......

You can get away with such things in Quick. In Blitz, Long, or Correspondence your opponents will see 5.Bxd8 Nxc3 6.Qb3 with a big advantage for White. Kudos for being able to play so well with only one minute on your clock.  :)

=) thanks, I got really lucky - I would never even play the nimzo in a real serious game: I love the KID way too much.

That trap was a nice variant of the Queen's Gambit trap that I saw once. In that line, Black is up an entire piece!

Very nice play. I enjoyed how the rook vacuumed up all those pawns at the end.
